Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The facts upon which Arthur’s convictions are based show that Arthur sped off in his truck as Officer McGuire — in full uniform — approached Arthur’s vehicle after initiating a traffic stop. When Arthur crashed the truck into a fence, he bailed out of the truck and then led the police on a foot chase. Arthur does not dispute that he fled from officers both in a vehicle and on foot. Instead, he argues that there was only one continuous act of fleeing, and thus, the trial court should not have entered judgment of conviction on the two separate counts of resisting law enforcement.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Lewis v. State“[Wle cannot say that resisting law en-foreement by fleeing in a vehicle is a different 'species' from resisting law enforcement by fleeing on foot. Rather, fleeing by means of a vehicle merely serves to enhance the penalty for fleeing. See Ind.Code § 35-44-3-3(b)(1) (setting forth that the offense of resisting law enforcement by fleeing is a Class D felony if the person uses a vehicle to commit the offense). Stated otherwise, whether on foot or in a vehicle, the same 'species' of behavior is proscribed: fleeing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Brown v. State“Here, Arthur committed one continuous act of fleeing, albeit by two different means: Arthur began fleeing in a truck, and when he crashed the truck, he immediately began to flee on foot without first being intercepted by the police. Because we find his actions of fleeing by vehicle and then on foot constitute one continuous act of resisting law enforcement, we find that convictions on both counts cannot stand.”
